Ice-Cream and Strawberry Festival.

The muddy roads and threatening aspect
OF the weather proved no barrier nor impedi-
ment against the earnest efforts of the Good
Templars, nor did ii deter the host of friends
from attending the late meeting at Liberty
Grove where the festivty of the occasion
has had no equal since the days of the re-
verberating eloquence at Spencervilles hall.
The tables were beautifully decorated with
flowers, displaying the good taste of the
ladies in charge-Misses Burton, Wilcox,
Athy, Duvall, McColloch. Rich and others,
whose congeniality heightened the pleasure
Of the occasion.
Among the friends from a distance were
MIR. NARROW and sister, Mr. W. f. Read, of
Waveland; Miss Ada Crandal, of Washing
ton, DC, whose affability makes her an ever
welcome visitor in our midst
The most jocular feature of the evening
was the auction, when the pathetic appeals
Of Mr.. L. ii. Burton reached down and
stirred the contents of the young mems
pockets and brought forth the golden fruit.
